thunder011cat: /etc/sudoers: Permission denied11:45
thunder011nope, but i can login in my account with my password11:46
diogenes_then here is my advice, get a bootable usb, boot into the live session and go to your /etc/sudoers open it and see if it looks like this: http://susepaste.org/2360940211:47
diogenes_if you see anything else added to the sudoers11:47

Cursarionso, err, on 16.04 the weather plugin will remain broken forever?16:42
Cursarioneven though it's LTS?16:43
frozenrouterI am having an odd problem with cpu frequency while using multithreaded games on xubuntu 17.04. After a short time playing the game, the frequency on all cores drops to 800MHz, limiting gpu usage, and dropping framerate significantly. I can confirm that the system can maintain a respectable core clock alongside gpu load. Any Advice?16:45
flocculantCursarion: no not at all - there is a package in proposed to test - when people have done that - it will eventually move from proposed to updates, see bug 168805616:47

xubuntu09ihello everybody : I hope with installing 17.04 instead of old 16.04 I will not have anymore this "assuming cache write through"17:04
xubuntu09ibecause each time I reinstall to ensure that empty space of disk has been overwritten as the installation option says17:05
xubuntu09iin a few minutes it will have finished installing 17.0417:06
xubuntu09iI hope this will work this time17:07
xubuntu09iin a few seconds, rather17:07
xubuntu09istill there, the progression bar has gone back17:09
xubuntu09iand the installation bar now has gone forward, i will restart17:10
xubuntu22ihello it's still me. ubuntu is against me today17:38
xubuntu22iit don't say to remove the installation media after ubuntu installation17:39
xubuntu22iinstead it says17:39
xubuntu22iassuming cache : write through17:40
xubuntu22iI'm trying with another place to plug the usb stick17:40
xubuntu22ianother place on the computer17:40
xubuntu22iMaybe I will receive an answer ... I go eat because this is the 5th time I 'm trying to install xubuntu since two hours ago17:42
Cursarionflocculant: hmmmkay17:47
diogenes_xubuntu22i, what is the exact issue? it installs but doesn't boot or it doesn't install at all?18:03
xubuntu22iso :18:10
xubuntu22iit installs, but not reboot : on the shut down process it says "assuming cache : write through"18:11
xubuntu22ithank you for answering18:12
diogenes_xubuntu22i, so everything works except reboot?18:12
xubuntu22iyes18:12
diogenes_have you tried: sudo reboot now?18:13
xubuntu22iand I fear the "delete empty space" installation option (when crypting the hard disk) have not been taken in account, especially18:14
xubuntu22ino18:14
xubuntu22iI have not tried18:14
xubuntu22iI just put "continue to test"18:14
diogenes_xubuntu22i, try in terminal: sudo systemctl reboot18:16
diogenes_and see if it reboots18:16
xubuntu22iok thank you18:16
diogenes_yw18:17
